About this film
ADVcharlie’s film covers days five and six of the trip. The main riding day is listed as approximately 280 miles over around seven hours, travelling from Fort Augustus to a campsite in Edinburgh. The itinerary breaks the day into stages through Spean Bridge, Speybridge, Braemar, Pitlochry and Killin, with fuel stops noted along the way. A night under canvas provides a pause before the journey continues the following day.
The journey
The route heads through the Cairngorms, with Balmoral Castle noted on the Braemar stage and the Falls of Killin listed between Pitlochry and Killin. From Killin, the ride continues to the Edinburgh campsite. Day six is a ride from Edinburgh towards home, taking the M6. The film’s journey is therefore a mix of scenic riding, practical travel between stops and a final southbound road leg.
What to expect
- A Cairngorms ride on day five of the North Coast 500 trip.
- An itinerary through Spean Bridge, Braemar, Pitlochry and Killin.
- A tent-side curry delivery and a final ride down the M6.
